Dear sisters and brothers in Christ Jesus, part of a growing repentance remnant globally,
Our brother Paul in Acts 20: 20-21 sets an example for each of us in these end times. We are ALL called to testify about repentance to God. It's not just faith in our Lord Jesus Christ to which we're called to testify ; it's also repentance toward God.
And when we sincerely repent, our new character is a wonderful testimony.
Luke 24:47 calls us to be preachers----- not necessarily behind a pulpit----- of repentance and the remission of sins.
Having removed old sin strongholds through sincere repentance, that new character is the best "sermon" your family and friends and neighbors could receive! Here is the Holy Spirit speaking through Paul to those elders from Ephesus --- and to us today: ' "You yourselves know how I lived among you the whole time from the first day that I set foot in Asia, serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials that happened to me through the plots of the Jews: how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house, testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ."
Our churches today may often rightfully speak of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. But the additional Word, that we are to repent toward God, needs to be taught also. Most important, it needs to be demonstrated by the leaders in our churches. Judgment begins in the house of God. Hello !!!!!!!!

Have you considered putting repentance into practice? Joining others in a repentance project? NDR has set up a separate website and a project to use God's own Words, His Solution, to resolve the epic drought in the eight of more Western States of the USA: www.endingdroughtgodsway.com
If you believed God has His Solution in His Word, would you use it? Then do please join us! It costs nothing to join but possibly your pride, your apathy, your focus on other things. You can join from any State or Nation as an intercessor. This initiative allows each of us to grow in Christ through a 40 day repentance devotional. We'll soon also have weekly zoom events to share testimonies and times of private prayers where we can confess our sins and repent as the Holy Spirit may direct us. Repentance is His Gift; it's time to put it to use !
